    Over 4 nights, 400 members of Wolverhampton Music Service represented 60 city schools and performed 50 individual pieces of music as part of Wolverhampton Summer Sounds, a celebration of musical talent held at the Wulfrun Hall, University of Wolverhampton at The Halls.

    Organised by Wolverhampton Music Service, it included performances by the Youth Choir, Concert String Orchestra, Keyboard Ensemble, Fusion Fives, Big Top SEND Ensemble, Bhangra Fusion Percussion, the Primary and Secondary Rock ‘n’ Pop groups, Guitar Group, Concert Wind Band, New Wind, Early Strings, New Strings, Jazz Big Band, Youth Wind Orchestra and Youth Orchestra.

    Head of Service Ciaran O’Donnell said: “It has been an aspiration to bring all 16 musical groups to the city’s most iconic venue, and I am so proud of everyone who took part and made it happen.

    “Many parents went for coffee or something to eat beforehand; in this way, alongside our educational ambition for our children and young people, the Music Service can also really support the city’s nighttime economy. I hope we can do it again next year.”

    Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: “This concert series was a powerful showcase of the dedication, creativity and spirit of Wolverhampton’s young musicians.

    “Their talent deserved to be heard and celebrated on the big stage and it was great that so many family and friends were able to watch on proudly as their young people took part in these very special performances.”

    The Summer Sounds concert series was made possible thanks to a generous donation of £10,000 donation from the Friends of Wolverhampton Music Service.

    Wolverhampton Music Service’s team of 34 hard working staff provide high quality tuition and musical opportunities for youngsters from schools across the city, including the chance to perform with its flagship groups, Wolverhampton Youth Orchestra and Wolverhampton Youth Wind Orchestra.

    Recent feedback from the Arts Council cited school engagement at 94%, with curriculum support the highest in the West Midlands.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Derby praised for work to keep children safe outside the school gates

    Source: City of Derby

    Children are enjoying safer journeys to and from school thanks to a pioneering Council scheme, which has now won a nationally recognised award for helping to keep children safe by the school gates.

    School Safe Haven Zones operate outside of schools, using temporary road closures or restrictions to limit the use of cars for school drop-offs and pick-ups. Enforced by ANPR cameras, the zones restrict vehicles during peak hours to improve air quality and safety for students.

    The zones, which have been trialled in multiple locations across the city, have brought tangible benefits to both school children and local residents. Not only are there fewer hazards caused by moving and dangerously parked vehicles, but air quality has improved, and active travel – such as walking and cycling – has increased. Residents living close to the zones have also seen reductions in traffic ‘rat-runs’ and felt that their communities were safer, more pleasant places to be.

    Data collected through the scheme is used to identify high-risk locations, monitor compliance and enhance the technology, making sure that any enforcement is fair and accurate. Data collected in Derby has shown significant reductions of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations, with reductions of up to 48.8% in some locations.

    The pioneering zones been formally recognised with Derby’s parking and transport teams winning Best Service Team of the Year at this year’s MJ Awards, which recognise and celebrate the vital, but often unseen, work that happens across local government. The first local authority to implement this type of scheme outside of London and Wales, the award highlighted the Derby City Council’s innovative and strategic approach, such as the positive impact on child safety, use of active travel methods and the improvements in air quality around schools across the city.

    Councillor Carmel Swan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Transport and Sustainability said:

    “We’re incredibly proud of the positive impact that our School Safe Havens have brought to Derby, and I’m so pleased that this work has been recognised on a national level.

    “This isn’t just about reducing traffic; it’s about making sure that our children are safe outside the school gates and enabling healthy habits from a young age by promoting active travel and contributing to a healthier generation.

    “By partnering with other local authorities to share our expertise, we’re not just making Derby safer, we’re also helping other councils do the same.”

    Following overwhelming success in trials, the Council has teamed up with councils in Walsall, Coventry and Hull to roll out the project and improve safety elsewhere in the UK. Income of around £500,000 has been generated through this roll-out that is being reinvested into the project and other local services, such as providing cycle training and bicycles for school children as well as supporting other highways projects and the work of the school crossing patrol team.

    More information about School Safe Haven Zones can be found on the Council’s website.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU students took part in the first All-Russian festival of student families

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The festival was created with the aim of uniting student families, as well as rectors, vice-rectors and specialists responsible for the implementation of family policy in universities. A pair of young scientists, Tatyana and Danil Sboev, had the opportunity to represent NSU at the first All-Russian Festival of Student Families. Tatyana completed her first year of Master’s degree Physics Department of NSU, and Danil is a 1st year postgraduate student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU.

    — It was an honor for us to represent Novosibirsk State University at the All-Russian Festival of Student Families. Participation in the festival is, first of all, new acquaintances. We talked with the rector and vice-rector of Buryat State University, exchanged experiences and ideas in the field of supporting families within the university, — said Tatyana.

    During the festival, a plenary session was held, at which the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government Dmitry Chernyshenko and the Head of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Valery Falkov told students in a question-and-answer format about measures to support young families.

    — The program was very busy. Unfortunately, we were able to attend only the first day of the festival. But during that day we managed to participate in a quiz dedicated to family traditions, where our team took second place, and we received many memorable prizes, and also participated in a master class on psychological well-being of the family. Among other things, the festival provided an opportunity to voice the questions and problems that young student families face. At the plenary session, we asked a question that concerns us as a family of young scientists, and we hope that measures to support the families of young scientists will be developed at the state level, — Tatyana added.

    During the plenary session, Valentina Matvienko personally invited Tatyana and Danil to take part in the V Congress of Young Scientists, which will be held from November 26 to 28, 2025, in the federal territory “Sirius” of Krasnodar Krai. The event is part of the national project “Youth and Children”.

    — I liked the festival. We met other student families, exchanged experiences, what kind of support universities offer when entering into marriage. I liked the quiz about family values and traditions. There were guys from Penza, Lugansk and Skolkovo on our team. In addition, despite the busy festival program, Tanya and I managed to take a short walk around summer Moscow, — Danil shared.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: A member of the RUDN construction team told how the third work shift is going

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Every weekday morning, Jean-Pierre Tsishugi Bisimva, a member of the RUDN Meridian Druzhby construction team, comes to the assembly line at 8:45 a.m. before the start of the work day. He works as a painter in the 11th block of the dormitory. Before this summer, he had never had to paint anything, but in three weeks he has already learned a lot.

    His experience working in a repair crew will definitely be useful to him in the future. After all, Jean-Pierre came to Russia from the Democratic Republic of Congo and graduated from the preparatory faculty to enroll in the RUDN Engineering Academy in the Construction program. He will begin his studies on September 1, but in the meantime, he is gaining useful practical skills in advance.

    “In the morning, we discuss the work plan for the day, and then we go to our site. I have a wonderful supervisor who is always ready to give professional advice and just suggest something on personal issues. I got used to the work faster than I thought, learned how to paint walls, stairs, radiators. To make it look prettier and more even, we use tape to separate the borders between colors and to avoid painting too much,” Jean-Pierre Tsishugi Bisimva (Construction, 1st year).

    Insidious paints

    Jean-Pierre already has not only useful knowledge and skills “under his belt”, but also a funny story about his colleague from the construction team.

    “He also worked as a painter, but he didn’t know much about paint. When he had to work in the bathroom, he didn’t cover the floor with anything to protect the surface from the oil paint that was dripping off the walls. This was because he thought that all paints were the same and could be easily washed off after work. As a result, my friend spent a long time cleaning the floor, and it was difficult to do. And that’s why we are always advised to use protective bags, film or cardboard to cover surfaces and keep the work area clean,” Jean-Pierre Tsishugi Bisimwa (Construction, 1st year).

    Concerts on Fridays

    The construction team members work from 09:00 to 18:00, with a lunch break. They go to the university cafeteria to recharge their batteries or bring food with them. In the evening, they hand over their completed work to the foreman and go home to rest and tidy up their work uniforms so that they are clean and ready for the new day. However, they are not always in a hurry to part with each other after checking in with the foreman.

    “We have a friendly, even family-like atmosphere. On Wednesdays we play football. And on Fridays we organize concerts where everyone can demonstrate their talents: sing, dance, play the guitar. In addition, excursions are organized for us. We have already seen the iconic places of Moscow, learned about its history and architecture,” – Jean-Pierre Tsishugi Bisimva (Construction, 1st year).

    At the end of July and in August, students will also be able to compete for the titles of “Miss and Mister of the Construction Team”. Who knows, maybe Jean-Pierre will receive the title of “Mister”? Time will tell.

    The third semester of the RUDN construction team “Meridian of Friendship” started on June 27. In total, more than 190 students from 55 countries are taking part in it.

    They were divided into two work areas: “Atlantes” are engaged in the improvement of student dormitories, and the guys from “Prometheus” are repairing classrooms, laboratories and sports areas of the university. The teams will work for two months.

  • MIL-OSI: SINTX Technologies Submits FDA 510(k) for Silicon Nitride Foot & Ankle Medical Devices

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Advanced Material Science Meets Surgical Precision in Groundbreaking New Platform in Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgery Market

    SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an advanced ceramics innovator specializing in silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) for medical applications, today announced the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its novel silicon nitride osteotomy wedges—marking the official entry into the foot and ankle reconstruction market. These next-generation implants blend cutting-edge biomaterials science with surgical precision and are designed to elevate standards in orthopedic procedures.

    The devices are manufactured from SINTX’s proprietary medical-grade silicon nitride, a biomaterial with a proven clinical track record of over 50,000 spinal interbody fusion devices implanted since 2008. With this submission, SINTX is extending the success of Si₃N₄ beyond the spine and into the global foot and ankle fusion market, currently valued at approximately $750.5 million and which is expected to grow to $1.38 billion by 2032 according to industry research.

    Clinical Advantages of Silicon Nitride

    From a clinical standpoint, Si₃N₄ is uniquely positioned among biomaterials to solve several of the most pressing challenges in orthopedic reconstruction:

    • Pro-osteogenic: Unlike PEEK or titanium, Si₃N₄ has been shown to actively promote bone cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown enhanced osseointegration and fusion potential due to the material’s inherent surface chemistry and nanotopography.
    • Antimicrobial Without Additives: Si₃N₄ has been shown to inhibit bacterial colonization and proliferation—including several antibiotic-resistant strains —through inherent surface chemistry without a supplemental coating. This is particularly critical in foot and ankle procedures where occurrences of hardware-related infections persist despite current best practices.
    • Radiographic Clarity: Si₃N₄ implants are intrinsically radiolucent with clearly visible boundaries on X-ray and CT scans. This facilitates precise intraoperative placement and clear post-operative evaluation of bone healing—unlike metal implants which obscure fusion assessment.

    “We believe Si₃N₄ is the ideal orthopedic biomaterial for fusion procedures where infection risk, healing rate, and long-term stability are paramount,” said Eric Olson, CEO of SINTX Technologies.

    Surgical Innovation: Proprietary Designs with Disposable Instrumentation

    In parallel with biomaterial excellence, SINTX has engineered proprietary implant geometries and disposable instrumentation to elevate surgical outcomes:

    • Implant Geometry: The family of wedges were developed in collaboration with leading foot and ankle surgeons to optimize for biomechanical correction, surface area contact, and ease of insertion.
    • Disposable Instrument Set: At full launch we anticipate each implant system to be paired with a sterile, single-use instrument kit to enhance maximum surgical efficiency and sterility. This potentially leads to a reduction in intraoperative delays, elimination of reprocessing errors, and a decrease in OR turnover time—benefits that hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers alike will value.

    “We’ve combined the novel clinical advantages of silicon nitride with intuitive implant designs and single-use instrumentation to deliver a truly differentiated solution,” said Lisa Marie Del Re, Chief Commercial Officer of SINTX Technologies. “This approach goes beyond innovation in material science. We’ve reimagined the surgical experience, striving to improve outcomes, enhance efficiency, and deliver stronger economic value across the care continuum.”

    Strategic Launch and Financial Outlook

    • The FDA submission is backed by over a decade of clinical and preclinical data on SINTX’s Si₃N₄ biomaterial, including peer-reviewed publications, biocompatibility studies, and documented fusion success.
    • With compelling clinical advantages and meaningful input from high-volume reconstructive surgeons, the company anticipates strong early adoption of its foot and ankle portfolio. This launch represents a key growth catalyst for SINTX, with the potential to drive meaningful revenue through broader market penetration and increasing procedural demand across both hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings.

    Delivering Value to All Stakeholders

    • For Patients: The design and material properties of our silicon nitride implants are intended to support successful bone fusion and to reduce infection risk; key considerations in recovery and long-term outcomes.
    • For Surgeons: Engineered for enhanced intraoperative visualization and ease of use, our system integrates advanced implant geometry with streamlined instrumentation to support surgical precision and procedural consistency.
    • For Providers and Stakeholders: The combination of sterile, single-use kits and differentiated biomaterial technology offers operational efficiencies and clinical distinction, positioning this platform for strong alignment with evolving value-based care models and increased procedural demand.

    “This is not just another foot fusion product line—this is a platform,” added Olson. “A platform built on a proven material, rooted in over a decade of clinical experience, and refined with thoughtful surgical design. We believe SINTX is redefining what’s possible in orthopedic advancements.”

    The implants will be manufactured at SINTX Technologies FDA audited and ISO certified manufacturing facility and distributed under the company name SiNAPTIC Surgical. SiNAPTIC was acquired by SINTX on July 1, 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: Capital City Bank Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

(NASDAQ: CCBG) today reported net income attributable to common shareowners of $15.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $16.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, and $14.2 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

    QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS (2ndQuarter 2025 versus 1stQuarter 2025)

    Income Statement

    • Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025
      • Net interest margin increased eight basis points to 4.30% (earning asset yield increased by six basis points and cost of funds decreased two basis points to 82 basis points)
    • Provision for credit losses decreased by $0.1 million to $0.6 million for the second quarter – net loan charge-offs were comparable to the first quarter of 2025 at nine basis points (annualized) of average loans – allowance coverage ratio increased to 1.13% at June 30, 2025
    • Noninterest income increased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, reflecting higher deposit and bankcard fees as well as mortgage fees partially offset by lower wealth management fees
    • Noninterest expense increased by $3.8 million, or 9.9%, primarily due to a $3.9 million net gain from the sale of our operations center building (reflected in other expense) in the first quarter of 2025

    • Deposit balances increased by $15.2 million, or 0.4% (average), and decreased by $79.0 million, or 2.1% (end of period) due to the seasonal decrease in our public fund balances

We remain focused on executing strategies that drive consistent, profitable growth, supported by a fortress balance sheet that provides resilience and strategic flexibility.”                          

    Discussion of Operating Results

    Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

    Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was driven by a $0.9 million increase in investment securities income and a $0.4 million increase in overnight funds income. One additional calendar day in the second quarter of 2025 contributed to the increase. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in investment securities income and a $1.2 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income for both prior period comparisons. Further, the decrease in deposit interest expense from the prior year period reflected the gradual decrease in our deposit rates, as short term rates began declining in the second half of 2024.

    For the first six months of 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $84.8 million compared to $77.8 million for the same period of 2024 with the increase primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in investment securities income, a $1.9 million increase in overnight funds income, and a $1.4 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income. Higher average deposit balances contributed to the increase in overnight funds income. The decrease in deposit interest expense reflected the aforementioned decrease in our deposit rates.

    Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.30%, an increase of eight basis points over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 28 basis points over the second quarter of 2024. For the month of June 2025, our net interest margin was 4.36%. For the first six months of 2025, our net interest margin increased by 25 basis points to 4.26% compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in net interest margin over all prior periods reflected a higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new purchases at higher yields. Lower deposit cost also contributed to the improvement over both prior year periods. For the second quarter of 2025, our cost of funds was 82 basis points, a decrease of two basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a 15-basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2024. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis points, 82 basis points, and 95 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2024. Activity within the components of the provision (loans held for investment (“HFI”) and unfunded loan commitments) for each reported period is provided in the table on page 14. We discuss the various factors that impacted our provision expense for Loans HFI in further detail below under the heading Allowance for Credit Losses.

    Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $20.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $0.1 million, or 0.5%, increase over the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.3 million increase in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in wealth management fees. The increase in mortgage revenues was driven by an increase in production volume. Fee adjustments made late in the second quarter of 2025 led to the increase in deposit fees. The decrease in wealth management fees was attributable to a decrease in insurance commission revenue. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.1 million decrease in other income. The increase in wealth management fees reflected a $0.5 million increase in trust fees and a $0.4 million increase in retail brokerage fees, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in insurance commission revenue. A combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025 drove the improvement in trust and retail brokerage fees.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest income totaled $39.9 million compared to $37.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in wealth management fees and a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees. The increase in wealth management fees reflected increases in retail brokerage fees of $1.0 million, trust fees of $0.7 million, and insurance commission revenue of $0.1 million. The increases in retail brokerage and trust fees were attributable to a combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025. The increase in mortgage banking revenues was due to a higher gain on sale margin.   

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $42.5 million compared to $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $40.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million, or 9.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025, reflected a $3.3 million increase in other expense, a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was driven by a $4.5 million increase in other real estate expense which reflected lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in charitable contribution expense and a $0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. The slight increase in occupancy expense was due to higher software maintenance agreement expense and maintenance/repairs for buildings and furniture/fixtures. The slight increase in compensation expense reflected a $0.1 million increase in salary expense and a $0.1 million increase in associate benefit expense.   Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million, or 5.2%, increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation expense which reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.8 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $0.9 million and base salaries of $0.4 million (merit based). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a $0.6 million increase in associate insurance expense and a $0.2 million increase in stock compensation expense.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $81.2 million compared to $80.6 million for the same period of 2024 with the $0.6 million, or 0.8%, increase due to a $3.9 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in other expense and a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy expense. The increase in compensation was due to a $2.5 million increase in salary expense and a $1.4 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $1.2 million, base salaries of $0.9 million (merit based), and commissions of $0.7 million (retail brokerage and mortgage). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a higher cost for associate insurance. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in other real estate expense due to lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, and a $1.0 million decrease in miscellaneous expense (non-service component of pension expense), partially offset by increases in processing expense of $1.1 million (outsource of core processing system), charitable contribution expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees of $0.5 million.

    Income Taxes

    We realized income tax expense of $5.0 million (effective rate of 24.9%) for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025 and $3.2 million (effective rate of 18.5%) for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we realized income tax expense of $10.1 million (effective rate of 24.1%) compared to $6.7 million (effective rate of 20.6%) for the same period of 2024. A lower level of tax benefit accrued from a solar tax credit equity fund drove the increase in our effective tax rate for all prior period comparisons. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2025.

    Discussion of Financial Condition

    Earning Assets

    Average earning assets totaled $4.032 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $38.1 million, or 1.0%, over the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $110.1 million, or 2.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase over both prior periods was driven by higher average deposit balances (see below – Deposits). Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $27.8 million increase in overnight funds and a $25.7 million increase in investment securities that was partially offset by a $13.3 million decrease in loans HFI and a $2.1 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $92.8 million increase in investment securities and a $50.5 million increase in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $24.8 million decrease in loans HFI and a $8.4 million decrease in loans HFS.

    Average loans HFI decreased by $13.3 million, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2025 and decreased by $24.8 million, or 0.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was due to decreases in construction loans of $24.6 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $1.9 million, and commercial loans of $3.4 million, partially offset by increases to residential real estate loans of $10.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $2.1 million, and home equity loans of $4.1 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $33.2 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $4.0 million, partially offset by increases in home equity loans of $10.8 million, residential real estate loans of $9.9 million, and commercial real estate loans of $1.9 million.

    Loans HFI at June 30, 2025 decreased by $29.3 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2025 and decreased by $20.1 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in construction loans of $18.2 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $8.7 million, commercial loans of $4.4 million, and commercial real estate loans of $4.4 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $5.8 million and home equity loans of $2.2 million. Compared to December 31, 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $45.9 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.0 million, partially offset by increases in commercial real estate loans of $23.4 million, residential real estate loans of $17.9 million, and home equity loans of $8.1 million.

    Allowance for Credit Losses

    At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.9 million compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2025 and $29.3 million at December 31, 2024. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 14. The slight increase in the allowance over March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to qualitative factor adjustments that were partially offset by lower loan balances. Net loan charge-offs for both the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025 were comparable at nine basis points of average loans. At June 30, 2025, the allowance represented 1.13% of loans HFI compared to 1.12% at March 31, 2025, and 1.10% at December 31, 2024.

    Credit Quality

    Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million at March 31, 2025 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.15%, compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2025 and 0.15% at December 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.4 million at June 30, 2025, a $2.2 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2024 with the increase over the first quarter of 2025 primarily attributable to two home equity loans totaling $1.8 million. Classified loans totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2025, a $9.4 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $8.7 million increase over December 31, 2024. The increase over the prior periods was primarily due to the downgrade of four residential real estate loans totaling $4.2 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.3 million.

    Deposits

    Average total deposits were $3.681 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 0.4%, over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of $80.3 million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2024.   Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was attributable to higher core deposit balances (primarily noninterest bearing checking and money market), partially offset by a decline in public funds balances (primarily NOW accounts) due to the seasonal reduction in those balances. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected strong growth in core deposit balances and a seasonal increase in public funds balances (primarily NOW) which are received/deposited by those clients starting in December and peak on average in the first quarter.

    At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $3.705 billion, a decrease of $79.0 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $32.9 million, or 0.9%, over December 31, 2024. The decrease from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a seasonal decline in public funds balances, (primarily money market and noninterest bearing). The increase over December 31, 2024 reflected higher core deposit balances, primarily noninterest bearing accounts. Public funds totaled $596.6 million at June 30, 2025, $648.0 million at March 31, 2025, and $660.9 million at December 31, 2024.

    Liquidity

    We maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold position of $348.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $298.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans.

    At June 30, 2025, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.603 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $395 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits.

    We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source, as we have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits and/or to sell selected securities in our portfolio. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At June 30, 2025, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.66 years and 2.14 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized after-tax loss of $13.4 million.

    Capital

    Shareowners’ equity was $526.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $512.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $495.3 million at December 31, 2024. For the first six months of 2025, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareowners of $31.9 million, a net $5.5 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of common stock of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.9 million. The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a $6.4 million decrease in the investment securities loss that was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $8.2 million ($0.48 per share) and net adjustments totaling $1.8 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans.

    At June 30, 2025, our total risk-based capital ratio was 19.60% compared to 19.20% at March 31, 2025 and 18.64% at December 31, 2024. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.81%, 16.08%, and 15.54%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 11.14%, 11.17%, and 11.05%, respectively, on these dates. At June 30, 2025, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.09% at June 30, 2025 compared to 9.61% and 9.51% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If the unrealized loss for held-to-maturity securities of $9.9 million (after-tax) was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.86%.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    Unaudited

    We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that removes the effect of goodwill and other intangibles resulting from merger and acquisition activity. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently.

    The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are provided below.

    Discussion of Operating Results

    Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

    Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $43.2 million compared to $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was driven by a $0.9 million increase in investment securities income and a $0.4 million increase in overnight funds income. One additional calendar day in the second quarter of 2025 contributed to the increase. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in investment securities income and a $1.2 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income for both prior period comparisons. Further, the decrease in deposit interest expense from the prior year period reflected the gradual decrease in our deposit rates, as short term rates began declining in the second half of 2024.

    For the first six months of 2025, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $84.8 million compared to $77.8 million for the same period of 2024 with the increase primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in investment securities income, a $1.9 million increase in overnight funds income, and a $1.4 million decrease in deposit interest expense. New investment purchases at higher yields drove the increase in investment securities income. Higher average deposit balances contributed to the increase in overnight funds income. The decrease in deposit interest expense reflected the aforementioned decrease in our deposit rates.

    Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.30%, an increase of eight basis points over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 28 basis points over the second quarter of 2024. For the month of June 2025, our net interest margin was 4.36%. For the first six months of 2025, our net interest margin increased by 25 basis points to 4.26% compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in net interest margin over all prior periods reflected a higher yield in the investment portfolio driven by new purchases at higher yields. Lower deposit cost also contributed to the improvement over both prior year periods. For the second quarter of 2025, our cost of funds was 82 basis points, a decrease of two basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a 15-basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2024. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 81 basis points, 82 basis points, and 95 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    We recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we recorded a provision expense for credit losses of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2024. Activity within the components of the provision (loans held for investment (“HFI”) and unfunded loan commitments) for each reported period is provided in the table on page 14. We discuss the various factors that impacted our provision expense for Loans HFI in further detail below under the heading Allowance for Credit Losses.

    Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $20.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $0.1 million, or 0.5%, increase over the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.3 million increase in deposit fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in wealth management fees. The increase in mortgage revenues was driven by an increase in production volume. Fee adjustments made late in the second quarter of 2025 led to the increase in deposit fees. The decrease in wealth management fees was attributable to a decrease in insurance commission revenue. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $0.4 million, or 2.1%, increase was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in wealth management fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.1 million decrease in other income. The increase in wealth management fees reflected a $0.5 million increase in trust fees and a $0.4 million increase in retail brokerage fees, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in insurance commission revenue. A combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025 drove the improvement in trust and retail brokerage fees.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest income totaled $39.9 million compared to $37.7 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in wealth management fees and a $0.7 million increase in mortgage banking revenues that was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees. The increase in wealth management fees reflected increases in retail brokerage fees of $1.0 million, trust fees of $0.7 million, and insurance commission revenue of $0.1 million. The increases in retail brokerage and trust fees were attributable to a combination of new business, higher account valuations, and fee increases implemented in early 2025. The increase in mortgage banking revenues was due to a higher gain on sale margin.   

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $42.5 million compared to $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $40.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million, or 9.9%, increase over the first quarter of 2025, reflected a $3.3 million increase in other expense, a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, and a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was driven by a $4.5 million increase in other real estate expense which reflected lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, primarily the sale of our operations center building in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in charitable contribution expense and a $0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. The slight increase in occupancy expense was due to higher software maintenance agreement expense and maintenance/repairs for buildings and furniture/fixtures. The slight increase in compensation expense reflected a $0.1 million increase in salary expense and a $0.1 million increase in associate benefit expense.   Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the $2.1 million, or 5.2%, increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in compensation expense which reflected a $1.3 million increase in salary expense and a $0.8 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $0.9 million and base salaries of $0.4 million (merit based). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a $0.6 million increase in associate insurance expense and a $0.2 million increase in stock compensation expense.

    For the first six months of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $81.2 million compared to $80.6 million for the same period of 2024 with the $0.6 million, or 0.8%, increase due to a $3.9 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in other expense and a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy expense. The increase in compensation was due to a $2.5 million increase in salary expense and a $1.4 million increase in associate benefit expense. The increase in salary expense was primarily due to increases in incentive plan expense of $1.2 million, base salaries of $0.9 million (merit based), and commissions of $0.7 million (retail brokerage and mortgage). The increase in associate benefit expense was attributable to a higher cost for associate insurance. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in other real estate expense due to lower gains from the sale of banking facilities, and a $1.0 million decrease in miscellaneous expense (non-service component of pension expense), partially offset by increases in processing expense of $1.1 million (outsource of core processing system), charitable contribution expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees of $0.5 million.

    Income Taxes

    We realized income tax expense of $5.0 million (effective rate of 24.9%) for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.1 million (effective rate of 23.3%) for the first quarter of 2025 and $3.2 million (effective rate of 18.5%) for the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, we realized income tax expense of $10.1 million (effective rate of 24.1%) compared to $6.7 million (effective rate of 20.6%) for the same period of 2024. A lower level of tax benefit accrued from a solar tax credit equity fund drove the increase in our effective tax rate for all prior period comparisons. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 24% for 2025.

    Discussion of Financial Condition

    Earning Assets

    Average earning assets totaled $4.032 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $38.1 million, or 1.0%, over the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $110.1 million, or 2.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase over both prior periods was driven by higher average deposit balances (see below – Deposits). Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $27.8 million increase in overnight funds and a $25.7 million increase in investment securities that was partially offset by a $13.3 million decrease in loans HFI and a $2.1 million decrease in loans held for sale (“HFS”). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the change in the earning asset mix reflected a $92.8 million increase in investment securities and a $50.5 million increase in overnight funds sold partially offset by a $24.8 million decrease in loans HFI and a $8.4 million decrease in loans HFS.

    Average loans HFI decreased by $13.3 million, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2025 and decreased by $24.8 million, or 0.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decrease was due to decreases in construction loans of $24.6 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $1.9 million, and commercial loans of $3.4 million, partially offset by increases to residential real estate loans of $10.2 million, commercial real estate loans of $2.1 million, and home equity loans of $4.1 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, the decline was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $33.2 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $4.0 million, partially offset by increases in home equity loans of $10.8 million, residential real estate loans of $9.9 million, and commercial real estate loans of $1.9 million.

    Loans HFI at June 30, 2025 decreased by $29.3 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2025 and decreased by $20.1 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the decline was primarily due to decreases in construction loans of $18.2 million, consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $8.7 million, commercial loans of $4.4 million, and commercial real estate loans of $4.4 million, partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $5.8 million and home equity loans of $2.2 million. Compared to December 31, 2024, the decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in construction loans of $45.9 million, commercial loans of $9.2 million, and consumer loans (primarily indirect auto) of $2.0 million, partially offset by increases in commercial real estate loans of $23.4 million, residential real estate loans of $17.9 million, and home equity loans of $8.1 million.

    Allowance for Credit Losses

    At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $29.9 million compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2025 and $29.3 million at December 31, 2024. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 14. The slight increase in the allowance over March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to qualitative factor adjustments that were partially offset by lower loan balances. Net loan charge-offs for both the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025 were comparable at nine basis points of average loans. At June 30, 2025, the allowance represented 1.13% of loans HFI compared to 1.12% at March 31, 2025, and 1.10% at December 31, 2024.

    Credit Quality

    Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million at March 31, 2025 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.15%, compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2025 and 0.15% at December 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.4 million at June 30, 2025, a $2.2 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2024 with the increase over the first quarter of 2025 primarily attributable to two home equity loans totaling $1.8 million. Classified loans totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2025, a $9.4 million increase over March 31, 2025 and a $8.7 million increase over December 31, 2024. The increase over the prior periods was primarily due to the downgrade of four residential real estate loans totaling $4.2 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.3 million.

    Deposits

    Average total deposits were $3.681 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 0.4%, over the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of $80.3 million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2024.   Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase was attributable to higher core deposit balances (primarily noninterest bearing checking and money market), partially offset by a decline in public funds balances (primarily NOW accounts) due to the seasonal reduction in those balances. The increase over the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected strong growth in core deposit balances and a seasonal increase in public funds balances (primarily NOW) which are received/deposited by those clients starting in December and peak on average in the first quarter.

    At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $3.705 billion, a decrease of $79.0 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $32.9 million, or 0.9%, over December 31, 2024. The decrease from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a seasonal decline in public funds balances, (primarily money market and noninterest bearing). The increase over December 31, 2024 reflected higher core deposit balances, primarily noninterest bearing accounts. Public funds totaled $596.6 million at June 30, 2025, $648.0 million at March 31, 2025, and $660.9 million at December 31, 2024.

    Liquidity

    We maintained an average net overnight funds (i.e., deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold position of $348.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $320.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $298.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected higher average deposits and lower average loans.

    At June 30, 2025, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.603 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $395 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits.

    We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source, as we have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits and/or to sell selected securities in our portfolio. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At June 30, 2025, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.66 years and 2.14 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized after-tax loss of $13.4 million.

    Capital

    Shareowners’ equity was $526.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $512.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $495.3 million at December 31, 2024. For the first six months of 2025, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareowners of $31.9 million, a net $5.5 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, the issuance of common stock of $2.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.9 million. The net favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a $6.4 million decrease in the investment securities loss that was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $8.2 million ($0.48 per share) and net adjustments totaling $1.8 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans.

    At June 30, 2025, our total risk-based capital ratio was 19.60% compared to 19.20% at March 31, 2025 and 18.64% at December 31, 2024. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.81%, 16.08%, and 15.54%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 11.14%, 11.17%, and 11.05%, respectively, on these dates. At June 30, 2025, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.09% at June 30, 2025 compared to 9.61% and 9.51% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If the unrealized loss for held-to-maturity securities of $9.9 million (after-tax) was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 9.86%.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    Unaudited

    We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that removes the effect of goodwill and other intangibles resulting from merger and acquisition activity. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other companies in the industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently.

    The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are provided below.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitfarms Announces Corporate Share Buyback Program

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s second amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 17, 2024, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated November 10, 2023.

    TORONTO, Ontario, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF) (“Bitfarms” or the “Company”), a global energy and compute infrastructure company, today announced that the Board of Directors has approved effective immediately the commencement of a corporate share buyback program. Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the notice filed by the Company to establish a normal course issuer bid program (the “Program”).

    Under the Program, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 49,943,031 of its common shares (out of the 557,548,857 common shares outstanding as at July 14, 2025) representing up to 10% of the Company’s public float of 499,430,313 common shares, during the period starting on July 28, 2025 and ending on July 27, 2026.

    CEO Ben Gagnon stated, “We believe that Bitfarms’ shares are currently undervalued because our Bitcoin business is underappreciated by the market, with little to no value being associated with our HPC potential. This Program demonstrates our confidence in Bitfarms’ business, our management team, and most importantly our high-performance computing data center growth strategy. We strongly believe our unique and highly desirable energy portfolio in Pennsylvania will drive long-term, sustainable growth that is financeable and enables management to leverage its balance sheet strength to drive shareholder value with this buyback program while simultaneously pursuing growth opportunities in HPC/AI to best capitalize on our substantial US energy pipeline.”

    The timing, price and volume of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors including corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, as well as general market conditions, the share price, regulatory requirements and limitations, and other factors.

    Bitfarms may purchase shares, from time to time, through the facilities of the TSX and/or the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”), or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and/or Nasdaq or under applicable law. Daily repurchases on the TSX will be limited to a maximum of 494,918 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (being 1,979,673 common shares), except where purchases are made in accordance with the “block purchase exception” of the TSX rules. Purchases of common shares through the Nasdaq will be made in the normal course and will not, during the twelve-month period ending July 27, 2026 exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the outstanding common shares as at the commencement of the Program. All shares purchased by the Company under the Program will be cancelled.

    Purchases will be made by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and/or the Nasdaq and the price which the Company will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of any such common shares at the time of acquisition, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and/or the Nasdaq.

    In connection with the Program, the Company has entered into an automatic repurchase arrangement with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during certain pre-determined blackout periods, based on Company instructions provided when not in blackout. Outside of these pre-determined blackout periods, any repurchases of common shares will be in accordance with management’s discretion, subject to applicable law. Although the Company has a present intention to acquire its common shares pursuant to the Program, the Company will not be obligated to make any purchases under said Program.

Mr. Burke most recently served as Executive Vice President of the Central Region and Field Enablement for the Commercial Bank for a large Midwestern super-regional bank, where he was responsible for the full range of commercial banking in 12 Midwestern markets including those in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

    Mr. Burke’s nearly 30-year banking career has centered on serving clients and communities in the Midwest. His prior leadership experience includes roles as Northeast Ohio Market President for the same regional institution, where he was responsible for driving collaboration across all business lines including Retail, Business Banking, Commercial, Private Banking and Mortgage.

Excluding these items and realized debt securities losses from the current quarter, adjusted net income1 was $190.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share.

    DEPOSITS AND FUNDING
    Growth in core deposits driven by Bremer including public fund and business checking increases partly offset by normal seasonal outflows of retail deposits.

    • Period-end total deposits were $54.4 billion, up $13.3 billion; core deposits up $11.6 billion; includes $11.5 billion of period-end core deposits assumed in the Bremer transaction.
      • Period-end core deposits up 0.8% annualized excluding Bremer.
    • On average, total deposits for the second quarter were $49.8 billion, up $9.3 billion.
    • Granular low-cost deposit franchise; total deposit costs of 193 bps, up 2 bps.
    • A loan to deposit ratio of 88%, combined with existing funding sources, provides strong liquidity.

    LOANS
    Loan growth driven by Bremer and strong commercial loan production; pipeline increasing.

    • Period-end total loans3 were $48.0 billion, up $11.5 billion; includes $11.2 billion of period end loans acquired in the Bremer transaction.
      • Excluding loans3 acquired in the Bremer transaction, period-end total loans were up 3.7% annualized.
    • Commercial loans, excluding Bremer, grew 4.6% annualized
      • Total commercial loan production in the second quarter was $2.3 billion; period-end commercial pipeline totaled $4.8 billion, up approximately 40%.
    • Average total loans in the second quarter were $44.1 billion, an increase of $7.8 billion.

    CREDIT QUALITY
    Resilient credit quality continues to be a hallmark of Old National.

    • Provision4 expense was $106.8 million; $31.2 million excluding $75.6 million of CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense5 related to the allowance for credit losses established on acquired non-PCD loans (including unfunded loan commitments) in the Bremer transaction, consistent with the prior quarter.
    • Net charge-offs were $26.5 million, or 24 bps of average loans, consistent with the prior quarter.
      • Excluding PCD loans that had an allowance for credit losses established at acquisition, net charge-offs to average loans were 21 bps.
    • 30+ day delinquencies as a percentage of loans were 0.30% compared to 0.22%.
    • Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.24% compared to 1.29%.
    • The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, stood at $594.7 million, or 1.24% of total loans, compared to $424.0 million, or 1.16% of total loans, reflecting $75.6 million of CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense5 related to acquired non-PCD loans (including unfunded loan commitments) and $90.4 million of allowance related to acquired PCD loans.

    NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
    Higher reflective of larger balance sheet and higher asset yields.

    • Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased to $521.9 million compared to $393.0 million, driven by Bremer, loan growth, higher asset yields and more days in the quarter, partly offset by higher funding costs.
    • Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis1 increased 26 bps to 3.53%.
    • Cost of total deposits was 1.93%, increasing 2 bps and the cost of total interest-bearing deposits increased 6 bps to 2.52%.

    NONINTEREST INCOME
    Increase driven by Bremer and organic growth of fee-based businesses.

    • Total noninterest income was $132.5 million, $111.6 million excluding a $21.0 million pre-tax gain associated with the freezing of benefits of the Bremer pension plan, compared to $93.8 million.
    • Excluding the pension plan gain and realized debt securities losses, noninterest income was up 18.8% driven by Bremer revenue as well as higher wealth fees, mortgage fees, and capital markets revenue.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE
    Higher reflective of Bremer, disciplined expense management drives efficiency ratio lower.

    • Noninterest expense was $384.8 million and included $41.2 million of merger-related charges.
    • Excluding merger-related charges, adjusted noninterest expense1 was $343.6 million, compared to $262.6 million, driven primarily by elevated operating costs and additional intangibles amortization, both related to the Bremer transaction.
    • The efficiency ratio1 was 55.8%, while the adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 50.2% compared to 53.7% and 51.8%, respectively.

    INCOME TAXES

    • Income tax expense was $30.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.5% compared to 20.3%. On an adjusted fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, the effective tax rate was 24.6% compared to 22.5%.
      • The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was impacted by the Bremer transaction and the first quarter of 2025 was impacted by a $1.2 million benefit for the vesting of employee stock compensation.
    • Income tax expense included $5.8 million of tax credit benefit compared to $5.3 million.

    CAPITAL
    Capital ratios remain strong.

    • Preliminary total risk-based capital down 109 bps to 12.59% and preliminary regulatory Tier 1 capital down 103 bps to 11.20%, as strong retained earnings were more than offset by the Bremer transaction and loan growth.
    • Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.26%, down 6.4%.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company’s operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables at the end of this release.

    The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and net income applicable to common shares, all adjusted for certain notable items. These items include CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense, merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, a pension plan gain, debt securities gains/losses, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense. Management believes excluding these items from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance since these items do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding merger-related charges from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

    Income tax expense, provision for credit losses, and the certain notable items listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-provision net revenues, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for credit losses required. Management believes adjusted pre-provision net revenues may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operating performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

    The Company presents adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, and FDIC special assessment expense, as well as adjusted noninterest income, which excludes a pension plan gain and debt securities gains/losses. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense and noninterest income may be useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

    The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

    In management’s view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company’s use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution’s capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders’ equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

    Although intended to enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the following reconciliations in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

  • MIL-OSI: Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results for 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GREAT NECK, N.Y., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) (the “Company”) announced today that its total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $2,355,000, compared to approximately $2,443,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $88,000, or 3.6%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower interest income, resulting from a reduction in loans receivable, period-over-period, partially offset by an increase of origination fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $1,899,000 and $2,033,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offered to real estate investors, and approximately $456,000 and $411,000, respectively, of its revenues were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.

    Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $1,413,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,409,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4,000.

    Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $4,629,000, compared to approximately $5,016,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $387,000, or 7.7%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower interest income, resulting from a reduction in loans receivable, period-over-period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, revenues of approximately $3,733,000 and $4,175,000, respectively, were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offered to real estate investors, and approximately $896,000 and $841,000, respectively, were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.

    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $2,786,000, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $2,885,000, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.44 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $99,000, or 3.4%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in interest income from loans, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

    As of June 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity was approximately $43,427,000.

    Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “Interest rates are still weighing on the real estate markets; therefore, we’re experiencing a slower pace of loan closings versus our typical pace, and longer loan terms, reflected by a higher amount of extended loans over the initial ultra short term of one year. Yet, we managed to deliver another quarter with net earnings of $0.12.”

For example, when the Company discusses the impact of interest rates on the real estate markets, including on pace of closings and terms of loans, it is using forward looking statements. Readers are cautioned that certain important factors may affect the Company’s actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that may be made in this news release. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following: (i) our loan origination activities, revenues and profits are limited by available funds; (ii) we operate in a highly competitive market and competition may limit our ability to originate loans with favorable interest rates; (iii) our Chief Executive Officer is critical to our business and our future success may depend on our ability to retain him; (iv) if we overestimate the yields on our loans or incorrectly value the collateral securing the loan, we may experience losses; (v) we may be subject to “lender liability” claims; (vi) our due diligence may not uncover all of a borrower’s liabilities or other risks to its business; (vii) borrower concentration could lead to significant losses; (viii) we may choose to make distributions in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you receive; (ix) an increase in interest rates may impact our profitability; (x) we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to extend or replace our existing credit line; and (xi) we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to refinance our 6% senior secured notes, due April 22, 2026. The risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors that could cause such differences. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and we caution potential investors not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

  • Trump’s Golden Dome looks for alternatives to Musk’s SpaceX

    The Trump administration is expanding its search for partners to build the Golden Dome missile defense system, courting Amazon.com’s Project Kuiper and big defense contractors as tensions with Elon Musk threaten SpaceX’s dominance in the program, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

    The shift marks a strategic pivot away from reliance on Musk’s SpaceX, whose Starlink and Starshield satellite networks have become central to U.S. military communications.

    It comes amid a deteriorating relationship between Trump and Musk, which culminated in a public falling-out on June 5. Even before the spat, officials at the Pentagon and White House had begun exploring alternatives to SpaceX, wary of over-reliance on a single partner for huge portions of the ambitious, $175 billion space-based defense shield, two of the sources said.

    Musk and SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment. After Reuters reported initially that SpaceX was a frontrunner to build parts of Golden Dome, Musk said on X that the company had “not tried to bid for any contract in this regard. Our strong preference would be to stay focused on taking humanity to Mars.”

    Due to its size, track record of launching more than 9,000 of its own Starlink satellites, and experience in government procurement, SpaceX still has the inside track to assist with major portions of the Golden Dome, especially launch contracts, sources say.

    Project Kuiper, which has launched just 78 of a planned constellation of 3,000 low-earth orbit satellites, has been approached by the Pentagon to join the effort, signaling the administration’s openness to integrating commercial tech firms into national defense infrastructure and going beyond traditional defense players.

    Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s executive chairman, told Reuters in January that Kuiper would be “primarily commercial,” but acknowledged “there will be defense uses for these [low-earth orbit] constellations, no doubt.”

    A spokesperson for Project Kuiper declined to comment for this story. The Pentagon declined to comment. The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

    Golden Dome’s ambitions mirror those of Israel’s Iron Dome – a homeland missile defense shield – but a larger, more complex layered defense system requires a vast network of orbiting satellites covering more territory.

    In the search for more vendors for the satellite layers of Golden Dome, “Kuiper is a big one,” a U.S. official said.

    While SpaceX remains a frontrunner due to its unmatched launch capabilities, its share of the program could shrink, two of the people said. Officials have reached out to new entrants like rocket companies Stoke Space and Rocket Lab RKLB.O are gaining traction and will be able to bid on individual launches as the program matures, according to the U.S. official.

    Later in the development of Golden Dome “each individual launch is going to get bid, and we have to actually give bids to other people,” besides SpaceX, the official said.

    NEED FOR SATELLITES

    There is an urgent need for more satellite production. Last year Congress gave Space Force a $13 billion mandate – up from $900 million – to buy satellite-based communication services in what was widely seen as one of many efforts to stimulate private sector satellite production.

    Amazon’s Project Kuiper, a $10 billion initiative led by former Starlink managers dismissed by Musk for slow progress, Reuters has reported, has lagged behind SpaceX in deployment. But its potential defense applications – such as communications that could aid missile tracking – have drawn renewed interest as the administration prepares to allocate the first $25 billion tranche of funding authorized under Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill.

    Traditional defense giants Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and L3Harris are also in talks to support Golden Dome. L3Harris CFO Kenneth Bedingfield told Reuters in an interview the company has seen a surge in interest in its missile warning and tracking technologies, which are expected to play a key role in the system.

    Northrop, meanwhile, is pursuing several efforts including a space-based interceptor, a component that would enable missile strikes from orbit, Robert Flemming, the head of the company’s space business, told Reuters in an interview.

    “Lockheed Martin is ready to support Golden Dome for America as a proven mission partner,” Robert Lightfoot, president of Lockheed Martin Space, said in a statement.

    Golden Dome’s initial outreach this spring invited smaller, newer Silicon Valley firms seen as nimbler, more sophisticated and potentially less expensive alternatives to the big defense firms to the table – but that was before the Musk-Trump feud upended that calculus.

    Several with close ties to Trump aside from SpaceX, including Palantir and Anduril – were considered early frontrunners to win big pieces of the $175 billion project.

    But the Musk-Trump feud has reshaped the competitive landscape. Musk recently launched the “America Party,” a tech-centric, centrist political movement aimed at defeating Republicans who backed Trump’s tax-and-spend agenda.

    RAPID TIMEFRAME

    Trump launched the Golden Dome initiative just a week into his second term, pushing for rapid deployment. Space Force General Michael Guetlein, confirmed by the Senate on July 17, is set to lead the program with sweeping authority.

    Under a previously unreported directive from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Guetlein has 30 days from confirmation to build a team, 60 days to deliver an initial system design, and 120 days to present a full implementation plan, including satellite and ground station details, two people briefed on the memo said.

    The inclusion of commercial platforms like Kuiper raises security concerns. Its satellites would need to be hardened against cyberattacks and electronic warfare, a challenge that has plagued even SpaceX’s Starlink network. In May 2024, Elon Musk said SpaceX was spending “significant resources combating Russian jamming efforts. This is a tough problem.”

    Beyond the technical and political challenges, Golden Dome could reshape global security dynamics. A fully operational space-based missile shield may prompt adversaries to develop new offensive capabilities or accelerate the militarization of space.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Defense News in Brief: AFMAO embodies ‘No Airman left behind’ – Operation Colony Glacier 2025

    Source: United States Airforce

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AFNS) —  

    Forty miles from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and accessible only by helicopter, U.S. Air Force Capt. Travis Lockwood stands on Colony Glacier. Before him lies a wide, unforgiving landscape scattered with debris from a long-ago tragedy that has become a mission of recovery and reunion, 73 years later.

    Colony Glacier is a large glacier that is home to the debris of a C-124 Globemaster that crashed into the side of Mount Gannett. Originally taking off from McChord Air Force Base, Washington, Nov. 22, 1952, en route to Elmendorf AFB, the aircraft never made it to its destination. The accident took the lives of 52 passengers and crew members. As of June 2025, 49 of 52 passengers have been identified. The recovery mission has taken place annually since 2012, when the contents of the crash were discovered.

    Lockwood, who is the Operation Colony Glacier ground forces commander and recovery team lead, as well as an Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations mortuary affairs deputy chief, travels from Dover AFB, Delaware, twice a summer for both phases of the operation, spending multiple weeks upon the blue ice, searching for key pieces of human remains, personal effects and identifiable information from the fallen aircraft passengers.

    Working with a team of joint partners including Armed Forces Medical Examiner System personnel, the Alaska Army National Guard, and JB Elmendorf-Richardson volunteers, Lockwood is able to bring pieces of bones, soft tissue, clothing articles, fully intact ID cards and large parts of the now retired C-124 back to Dover AFB where they will be sent to AFMES. 

    Lockwood describes a day on the ice as rewarding, despite being physically challenging. Safety is one of Lockwood’s priorities as the team lead.

    “The glacier is hard-packed ice covered in loose rock. Everything from gravel to large boulders. It’s not flat; there are steep inclines, crevasses, and hidden obstacles everywhere,” Lockwood explains, eyes scanning his cold surroundings, hearing the constant sound of rushing water pouring from the melting surfaces.

    “Temperature-wise, it ranges from the low 40s to mid-30s, with a lot of wind. And the glacier is constantly changing, it is melting, shifting, moving, so every day we reassess the area we’re working in.”

    The team, usually consisting of about seven crew members, begins their day with a 20-minute flight on an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk, where skilled Army pilots are able to land the aircraft on small, uneven surfaces upon the ice for a brief, hot unloading. The recovery team is highly trained and carries a days worth of gear, with them preparing for the mission by attending mountaineering school in order to be able to navigate the rough terrain and have the ability to reach deeply into the glacial crevasses.

    Every day is a new day on Colony, due to the landscape constantly melting and revealing more debris underneath. The team moves miles down the glacier every year. Lockwood explains that oftentimes the surfaces are unrecognizable, so it is important they discover as much as they can because nothing will be in the same place tomorrow. The operation is split into two phases each summer, in order to let new parts of the landscape melt down to expose more content to search through. Weather conditions on the glacier are monitored by the 3rd Wing, JB Elmendorf-Richardson, who provide an on-site weather team. 

    Despite the challenging daily challenges on the glacier, the team is able to stay focused on the mission due to strong team bonds that can only truly be felt by those who have touched the ice and mission, according to Lockwood.

    “There’s a unique bond out here, one that only those who’ve been on this mission understand,” he explains. “You can’t explain what it’s like until you’re standing on the ice, finding human remains and personal effects. That experience creates a deep, unspoken connection among the team. We’re united by the mission and by our commitment to each other.”

    Returning personal effects to family members is one of the largest goals of Operation Colony Glacier. AFMAO and AFMES members recently were able to meet with children, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends of the fallen service members at an event in Dover. Families sharing memories of the fallen members highlighted the impact of the mission, and how their hard work to bring home and identify every member does not go unnoticed.

    Finding personal effects such as wallets, clothing, and safety equipment can be emotionally painful.

    Lockwood highlights one of the more emotional recoveries he made, a wallet belonging to a passenger and a father’s belongings.

    “Last year, we found a couple of wallets, one of which had contents like business cards and money. One wallet had a printed paper that said ‘mom’s sizes’ — her dress and shoe sizes. It was November, so maybe he was planning to buy her a Christmas present,” explains Lockwood. “I also found a family photo, and behind it, folded up, was a birth certificate for a daughter who was two months old. This individual had a brand new baby and was carrying her birth certificate at the time of the crash … that really puts a personal touch on things and makes (the mission) emotional, knowing these people left families behind and lost their lives coming up here.”

    During phase one of 2025, the team was able to find another completely intact wallet that included a fully preserved ID card, photos, mess hall pass, taxi receipt and TDY orders.

    With the personal effects and human remains that are found by the on-ice team, AFMES is able to do DNA processing, fingerprint examination and other identification processes.

    A key team member in this process is an Operation Colony Glacier veteran, Carlos Colon. Colon is an AFMES medicolegal death investigator and the operations subject matter expert. Colon has returned to the glacier every year for eight years, consistently bringing back and selecting the best viable specimens, submitting them to the DNA lab for processing, with identification usually happening within a year. On the ice, Colon organizes and numbers the samples, helping the team identify what would be suitable specimen to send back. Every day, he visits the morgue on JB Elmendorf-Richardson and oversees the process of storing the remains before they are brought to Dover AFB.

    Colon, originally from Puerto Rico, served in the U.S. Army as a mortuary affairs specialist, where he would discover and process remains, helping to send them to Dover AFB. He became interested in AFMES and the medical side of the process after witnessing a pathologist, photographer and investigator in Iraq, leading him to pursue a career in forensic investigation. 

    Combining his army and civilian experience, Colon has made many impacts to families and to fallen service members, helping them with dignity, honor and respect. Carlos highlights the importance of the mission, emphasizing the promise to bring service members back to their families.

    “We won’t leave you behind. For me, it’s a cool reminder, especially for the guys in combat arms, infantry, or combat engineers, that the DoD really does this. Having them participate is special. A lot of them say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe we’re still doing this after all these years.’ That’s my favorite part. I’ve seen a lot of deaths in my career, so I also find it rewarding to create an environment where it’s easier for people to process what’s happening, so they’re not as affected.”

    Colon explains that what keeps him motivated on the ice is how determined everyone is to make all 52 identifications. He shares that one of his favorite memories was when a fellow team member brought a speaker to the glacier, playing music from the 1950s that would have been popular in the time of the crash while they searched.

    “I wish people knew many people are involved in this mission,” Colon says. “How many organizations, how many individuals and how invested everybody is to see it through.”

    At the end of the mission each year, AFMAO organizes a dignified departure for the remains before transporting the remains to Dover AFB. The long, demanding days, unwavering motivation and commitment to service from all team members and units make this accomplishment possible.

    Colony Glacier is a one-of-a-kind mission that is authentically able to represent the Air Force’s commitment to never leaving an Airman behind.

    “We will never leave somebody behind. We’ve made a commitment to the fallen and their families that we will bring them home,” Lockwood said. “The lengths we go to do that are very special … we will care for your Airmen, your Soldiers, your Marines. From the time they join until the time they leave, or until they are brought home. They are not forgotten.”

  • MIL-Evening Report: View from The Hill: How much can Jim Chalmers get out of the economic reform roundtable?

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    We’re now less than a month away from the start of the Albanese government’s “economic reform” (aka “productivity”) roundtable, but it has become quite hard to get a fix on exactly what this gathering will amount to.

    The guest list for the August 19-21 summit is obviously tight, given the government decided it wanted the meeting to fit into the cabinet room (so avoiding a more extensive “talkfest”).

    But excluding the states and territories from a meeting that discusses deregulation and taxation means major players in these policy areas are not in the room (the NSW treasurer, Daniel Mookhey, chair of the board of treasurers, is the only state government representative invited). Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he will meet state treasurers beforehand, but that doesn’t quite cover their omission.

    The government has flagged that industrial relations isn’t on the table, although the unions will be at that table. Yet IR is a major issue in productivity, so that excludes a central area from discussion. The unions are being given a level of protection other players potentially do not have.

    Tax reform is a central topic at the roundtable, the themes of which are productivity, budget sustainability and economic resilience. But the scope of what is up for serious consideration is limited.

    The government is not willing to consider changing the GST, even if it is not formally ruling out it being canvassed.

    When it was put to him that he opposed altering the GST, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the ABC this week what he would not do was “go to an election and secure a majority because our government concentrated on cost-of-living measures in our first term […] and immediately we get elected and we say, we’re going to put up the price of everything that you buy.

    “That is not something that’s tenable. That’s something which would have represented a breach of trust upon which we were elected on May 3rd.”

    Rejecting an overhaul of the GST kyboshes, for better or worse, a major tax switch from our over-reliance on personal income tax to putting more of the tax burden on indirect tax. This is a change many tax experts advocate.

    Despite the hype around the pre-roundtable discussion of broad tax reform, what appears likely to find favour with the government are tax changes affecting wealth (but excluding the family home) and the resources sector.

    It remains unclear to what extent Chalmers will seek to define the outcome beforehand. That is: will he, after reviewing the submissions, go into the roundtable with a firm idea of what he wants to get out of it, and then see how much he can get over the “consensus” line?

    Helpfully for everyone at the roundtable, the Productivity Commission is about to release a series of reports on various aspects of productivity, which will provide data and ideas.

    These cover economic resilience, improving workforce skills and adaptability, harnessing digital technology, improving care delivery, and investing in the net zero transformation.

    Meanwhile business, which felt it was made something of a patsy in the 2022 jobs and skills summit, with the government using that meeting to gain traction for what it already wanted to do, is being cautious this time.

    Even before the formal announcement of the roundtable, it set up a group following the government’s nomination of productivity as a central priority for this term. The umbrella body’s first meeting was attended by more than 20 groups representing businesses of all sizes, universities and the investment community. This body is ongoing. It includes the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Industry Group, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Minerals Council of Australia and the Council of Small Business Organisations.

    The umbrella body will put forward a suite of recommendations for the roundtable including on investment, innovation, reducing red tape, planning and approval processes, tax, education and employment.

    We now have the full list of roundtable participants. It’s interesting for who’s there and who’s not. Ken Henry, of the seminal Henry taxation report – of which Chalmers has vivid memories from his days as a staffer of former treasurer Wayne Swan – will be present. Henry last week gave a strong presentation at the National Press Club about the pressing need for reform of the environment protection regime.

    Also scoring an invitation is teal crossbencher Allegra Spender, who made tax reform one of her core issues last term. Spender is holding her own “tax reform roundtable” on Friday, with a who’s who of experts.

    But left off the Treasurer’s invitation list list was the Minerals Council of Australia. This despite the fact that tax changes in the resources area seem a ripe area for discussion.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Check your business rates agent’s name

    Source: United Kingdom – Government Statements

    News story

    Check your business rates agent’s name

    Make sure your business rates agent’s name in our system matches your contract.

    If you want to use an agent to manage your business rates, you need to appoint them in our Check and Challenge service. 

    But if the agent’s name in our service does not match the name on your contract, you should be cautious. You should tell us by contacting agentstandards@voa.gov.uk.  

    You can also find out how long an agent has been using their current business name. You can get information about a company for free. 

    Some rogue agents may change their name often. 

    Our  VOA agent standards set out clear expectations for agents regarding:  

    • their behaviour   

    • their professional practice   

    • the service they provide to their customers   

    We take breaches of our agent standards very seriously. We will always take action if we substantiate a breach of the standards.  

    You should be cautious of any agent who:   

    • tries to pressure you to make a decision or sign a contract   

    • says they are acting on behalf of the VOA or forwards emails they claim are from the VOA   

    • demands large sums of money up front   

    • makes claims about ‘unclaimed credits’ or similar   

    Remember – you don’t have to use an agent to manage your business rates.   

    You can challenge your rateable value through our online service. This service is free to use.   

    If you want an agent to manage your business rates, use our checklist to choose an agent. Don’t let an agent choose you.  

    Using an agent who is a member of a professional body may provide extra reassurance as they will be subject to that body’s rules and regulations. The Institute of Revenues, Rating, Valuation, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Rating Surveyors’ Association have published joint standards that their members should follow. 

    We also have guidance on staying safe from scammers.   

    We collect evidence of poor agent behaviour and practices in the course of our work. This evidence allows us to proactively address issues or concerns.   

    If you are concerned about poor behaviour by agents, send any evidence to agentstandards@voa.gov.uk. 

    We cannot advise you on contractual issues you may have with any agent. You should contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service. They have a helpline you can call on 0808 223 1133, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    If you think a business has broken the law or acted unfairly, you can also report them to Trading Standards via Citizens Advice. 

    If you believe you are a victim of fraud, you can make a report to Action Fraud.

  • India implements world’s largest grain storage plan in cooperative sector

    The central government is moving swiftly to implement the “World’s Largest Grain Storage Plan in the Cooperative Sector,” an ambitious initiative aimed at revolutionizing rural agri-infrastructure and empowering Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) across the country. Approved on May 31, 2023, the plan is currently being rolled out as a pilot project and is set to transform grain storage and agricultural logistics at the grassroots level.

    Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, shared these updates in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, emphasizing the Government’s commitment to transforming the cooperative sector into a pillar of rural economic development.

    The plan focuses on the creation of infrastructure at the PACS level, including godowns, custom hiring centers, food processing units, and Fair Price Shops. These developments are being implemented through convergence of various government schemes such as the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure Scheme (AMI), Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), and the Pradhan Mantri Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme.

    As part of the pilot phase, construction of godowns has been completed in 11 PACS across 11 states, including Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Telangana, Karnataka, Tripura, Assam, and Uttarakhand. The total storage capacity developed so far stands at 9,750 metric tonnes, with integrated facilities such as seed grading units, processing centers, and Grameen Haats also being established in some locations. More than 500 additional PACS have been identified for godown construction, with a completion target set for December 2026.

    To support the initiative’s expansion, the Government has approved a parallel plan to establish new multipurpose PACS, dairy, and fisheries cooperatives, with the aim of reaching every panchayat and village within five years. Supported by NABARD, NDDB, NFDB, and State/UT governments, this plan has already resulted in the registration of 22,933 new cooperative societies since February 15, 2023—including 5,937 multipurpose PACS. A comprehensive implementation guide, Margadarshika, was launched on September 19, 2024, to outline the timelines and responsibilities of all stakeholders.

    Additionally, in a move to digitally empower PACS, the Government has approved a ₹2,925.39 crore project for their computerization. This project will bring all functional PACS under a common ERP-based national software, ensuring integration with NABARD through State Cooperative Banks (StCBs) and District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs). As of June 30, 2025, a total of 73,492 PACS across 31 States and Union Territories have been sanctioned for inclusion. Of these, 59,920 have already been onboarded onto the ERP system, with hardware delivered to 64,323 PACS.

    The project is not only streamlining agricultural operations but is also expected to improve transparency, record-keeping, and credit delivery across the cooperative sector. States like Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh are leading in the number of PACS onboarded and operationalized under the ERP system.

    The government’s plan to strengthen the cooperative movement across rural India has made significant progress, with 22,606 new Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), dairies, and fishery cooperative societies registered across the country as of June 30, said Union Minister Amit Shah in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Monday.

    The initiative, approved on February 15, 2023, aims to establish two lakh multipurpose cooperative societies in five years, covering every panchayat and village.

    The plan is being implemented through convergence of various central government schemes – such as the Dairy Infrastructure Development Fund (DIDF), National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD), and PM Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) – with support from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB), and state governments. Importantly, the scheme uses the existing outlays of these programs and integrates them at the PACS level.

    To guide this rollout, the Ministry of Cooperation launched a standard operating procedure (Margdarshika) on September 19, 2024. This document outlines clear targets, timelines, and responsibilities for all stakeholders.
